Chu Mu's life was very regular. He would wake up early in the morning to practice the Zhongyuan Sword Qi Observation Technique and the Sword Qi Protection Secret Technique. Then he would go to the Wind Sword Platform to practice his swordsmanship. After returning, he would enter the pond to practice his swordsmanship. At night, he would comprehend the sword momentum.
Ever since he was defeated by Chu Mu after using his full strength, Han Rui refused to fight with Chu Mu again. It was too hurtful. That feeling was too sullen. He didn't want to experience it a second time, or else it would leave a shadow in his heart.
"Senior Brother, tomorrow is the time for you to go to the Life and Death Sword Platform." Li Wei's little face was full of worry. In the past few days, Chu Mu had taught her swordsmanship from time to time. Now, the Flying Cloud Sword Technique was close to Dacheng, and the Wind Sword Technique was about to be mastered. Such progress was worth at least several months of hard work. This made her extremely grateful to Chu Mu.
"Don't worry." Chu Mu said lightly and went to the second floor.
He had mastered the Qi Observation Technique, the Wind Sword Technique was also Dacheng's, and the Sword Qi Protection Secret Technique. He had made slight progress, but he didn't know when he would be able to break through to the second layer. The progress of the Sword Qi cultivation was undetectable. Chu Mu couldn't help but sigh at the disadvantages of having a low cultivation talent and no medicinal pills.
As for the sword momentum, there was still no breakthrough.
The night passed. At dawn the next day, Chu Mu woke up. After washing up, he began to cultivate. He didn't feel nervous or anxious because of the upcoming life and death sword battle.
Draped in a deep chill, he came to the High Wind Sword Platform to practice his sword arts.
"I really don't know what to say." Not long after, Han Rui also appeared. Seeing Chu Mu practicing his swordsmanship, he smiled bitterly and said, "Wait, it's time for you and Wang Feng to fight to the death. I don't feel the slightest tension from you. It seems that you are really confident about the life and death sword battle."
"Do you want to go and see?" Chu Mu asked in a very natural tone.
"Go, I want to see how you'll defeat Wang Feng." Unconsciously, a thought emerged in his mind. This thought had been growing in his mind ever since he had used his full strength and lost. That thought was that perhaps Chu Mu could defeat Wang Feng.
"En, then take me there. I don't know where the life and death Sword Discourse Arena is." Chu Mu said, almost causing Han Rui to fall.
"Let's go. I'll take you there now." Han Rui smiled bitterly.
At that moment, many inner disciples appeared and strode over. Among them were Qi Bai, Zhuang Qiusheng, and the others.
"Isn't that Chu Mu? What, are you planning to run away? " Qi Bai laughed as much as possible, "Let me tell you, you won't be able to escape. You should obediently go to the life and death arena. Today will be your last day in this world, hahahaha …"
"Scram." Looking at Qi Bai with an indifferent gaze, Chu Mu coldly spat out a word, causing Qi Bai's laughter to stop abruptly. It was as if he had swallowed a fat maggot. His face became extremely ugly and his eyes revealed an ominous glint.
"Arrogant, you can be arrogant. You can only be arrogant now." Qi Bai said fiercely.
Because it was a life and death sword battle, the inner disciples of the three courtyards all woke up earlier than usual. Furthermore, they did not cultivate. After washing up, they set off in groups towards the life and death arena.
The life and death arena was not within the three courtyards, but not far behind the Law Enforcement Hall. It was a half-meter tall platform made of polished gray rock, ten meters long and ten meters wide. The surroundings were also flat gray rock, and the area was very large. It could accommodate hundreds of people at the same time without being crowded.
At this moment, Wang Feng was standing on the Sword Discourse Arena with his eyes closed. He held the sword in his left hand and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He was motionless, like a statue.
One after another, people rushed over and surrounded the Sword Discourse Arena. They were about five meters away from the edge of the Sword Discourse Arena.
"Eh, Wang Feng is already here."
"It seems like he can't wait any longer."
"Where's that Chu Mu? He's not here yet. Could it be that he doesn't dare to come? "
"Hmph, a mere new inner disciple. He thinks that he can be arrogant in the inner sect just because he has some fame in the outer sect. Senior Brother Wang Feng will let him know the difference between us." This was what a seventh level Sword Qi Realm disciple from the Thunder Courtyard said.
"You're wrong. He won't have the chance to know the difference between us. Because in the life and death arena, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. It's only life and death. Either you die or I live." Another disciple from the Thunder Courtyard sneered.
"This new inner sect disciple called Chu Mu, I don't know if his brain has been damaged from sword training, but he unexpectedly agreed to Wang Feng's life and death sword fight. I think he's just looking for his own death." This was said by an inner sect disciple from Jadewater Academy.
"Who knows? Maybe he overestimated his own strength and thought that he could run rampant in the inner sect just because he obtained the title of number one outer disciple."
"How sad. The Towering Wind Courtyard actually produced such an overconfident person. Fortunately, he didn't choose our Jadewater Courtyard. Otherwise, our Jadewater Courtyard would have lost a lot of face."
"Look, the people from the Towering Wind Courtyard are here."
Everyone looked over and saw a group of about thirty people striding over. They were the inner disciples of the Towering Wind Courtyard. Chu Mu was also among them. He was walking leisurely at the back with Han Rui.
As if he had also heard this, Wang Feng's eyes suddenly opened. A trace of lightning flickered as he looked at the disciples of the Towering Wind Courtyard. Looking past them, he directly stared at Chu Mu. A vicious resentment shot out like a sharp sword, as if he wanted to shoot Chu Mu to death. He clenched his fists so hard that blue veins popped out.
Everyone felt a sharp killing intent erupting from Wang Feng's body. They were all startled.
At the same time, the Law Enforcement Elder and the elders of the three courtyards came together and sat on the four mahogany chairs that had been prepared earlier.
Coincidentally, the four elders were located on the east side of the Sword Discourse Arena, while the inner disciples of the three courtyards were located on the south, west, and north sides. As for the Law Enforcement Disciples, Lu Xue and Yan Ling, they stood on the left and right sides of the Law Enforcement Elder.
Without saying a word, Chu Mu slowly walked towards the Sword Discourse Arena. With a light leap, he was five meters away from Wang Feng, facing him from afar. His expression was indifferent and calm. Wang Feng's eyes were filled with resentment and the killing intent that was constantly emitting from him did not affect him in the slightest.
"It has been five years since a life and death sword battle has occurred in our sect. This is also the first time in five years that this elder has presided over a life and death sword battle. On one side is the veteran inner disciple of the Thunder Courtyard, Wang Feng. On the other side is the new inner disciple of the Towering Wind Courtyard, Chu Mu. As the Law Enforcement Elder of the Sword Sect, this elder sincerely hopes that the two sides can resolve the conflict in a more gentle way. No matter which side lives or dies, it will be a loss for our sect. " The Law Enforcement Elder stood up and said in a deep voice with a pure aura, "Here, this elder will ask again. Are both of you willing to resolve the conflict in other ways?"
"Many thanks to the Law Enforcement Elder. I insist on a life and death sword battle." Wang Feng said, staring at Chu Mu with red eyes.
"Many thanks for the good intentions of the Law Enforcement Elder. Chu Mu appreciates it." Chu Mu turned towards the Law Enforcement Elder and saluted with his sword.
Even if Wang Feng was willing, Chu Mu wouldn't agree. Wang Feng was a narrow-minded person who would seek revenge for the slightest grievance. Moreover, he was a bit scheming. Once he was given the slightest chance, he would definitely not let go.
To Chu Mu, Wang Feng was only qualified to be a stumbling block.
As for Wang Feng, his hatred for Chu Mu was extremely deep. He wanted to kill Chu Mu, so it was even more impossible for him to agree to the Law Enforcement Elder's suggestion.
"Since both sides insist on a life and death sword battle, this elder will not stop them." The Law Enforcement Elder was expressionless, but there was a sense of majesty between his brows, "The life and death sword battle on the Sword Arena of Life and Death will depend on one's cultivation and sword skills. It does not matter who wins or loses, only life and death. However, this elder still hopes that the other side will not be killed if possible. "
"Both sides are ready. This elder announces that the life and death sword battle … begins!"
As soon as the Law Enforcement Elder announced the start of the battle, the atmosphere immediately became tense. A desolate killing intent swept out like a cold wind, causing everyone to involuntarily tremble and subconsciously shrink their necks.
With two clangs, Chu Mu and Wang Feng unsheathed their swords at the same time …
